A typical height for a 2-year-old child generally falls within the following ranges:
- For boys, the average height is about 85 to 90 cm (approximately 33.5 to 35.4 inches)
- For girls, the average height ranges from 80 to 92.9 cm, with an average around 86.4 cm (about 31.5 to 36.5 inches)
Children shorter than about 82 cm may be considered stunted, and those below 78 cm severely stunted
. By age 2, children have usually reached about half of their adult height
. In summary, a 2-year-old should typically be between roughly 80 and 90 cm tall, with some variation depending on sex and individual growth patterns. If there are concerns about a child's growth, consulting a pediatrician for evaluation and monitoring against growth charts is recommended
